...number of major works of the past century form the core of the exhibition. Monet, Manet, Degas, Cezanne, Gaugin, Renior, Sisley, and Pissarro, and Toulouse-Lautrec are represented proportionate to their value on what must regrettably be called the art-historical market. Two of Monet's studies of Rouen cathedral are here, as is a small study by Manet after Valazquez, anticipating several later works. A self portrait by Van Gogh captures both the texture of the flesh and the introspection of the personality in precise but broad brush strokes moving inward towards the center of the composition. Van Gogh...
...California's Dan Gurney, 31, a star auto racer at home, but never before winner of a European Grand Prix race; the Grand Prix of France at Rouen, carefully nursing his German Porsche through the 219½-mile race at a slow (relatively) but sure average speed of 101.9 m.p.h. while faster cars broke down and dropped out. - Tennessee State's Wilma Rudolph Ward, lithe triple gold-medal winner at the 1960 Olympics; the 100-yd. dash at the women's National A.A.U. championships; in 10.8 sec., only .1 sec. off her own meet record...

...French boast more bicycle races than any other nation-close to 300 a year-the Tour de France is the most expensive, prolonged and perilous marathon of them all. This year's Tour pitted 132 brawny-thighed riders against a brutal 2,750-mile course. Starting at Rouen, the race cut through Belgium, leaped the Alps into Italy, streaked across the south of France into the Pyrenees, and wound northeast along the stately Loire to Paris. The sunburned, dust-caked riders quit at 5 p.m. each day, laying over at night in Tricolor-draped towns that paid...
...tourist - would hardly recognize the place. Throughout West Germany, old military installations have become light industrial plants; along the middle Rhine, from Karlsruhe to the outskirts of the Ruhr district, new oil refineries and petrochemical plants are popping up like mushrooms. France's war-ravaged port city of Rouen has new docks, new bridges, new housing developments for 60,000 workers, who labor in refineries, operating with three times their prewar capacity, and in new plastics and textile plants. To the south, the land opposite Venice's drowsy lagoon has emerged as one of Italy...
